Dear Anna and Gareth Brilliant! Thanks loads for your help. I think you're right, Anna - the place is Pwll rhyd pwnau, or at least the enumerator's version of that! And it also seems likely that Edward Mainwaring worked at Brynhenllys colliery. Thanks for the excellent links to the map and to the information about the colliery. It has really helped to provide a context for Edward's life there in 1841. Thank you to both of you again.
